I just hear this argument all the time by Klitschko haters, that half of the heavies today are just blown up cruisers. Well my question is how many "great" heavyweights didnt fight under 200 at any point in their career? Holmes did, Holy did, Ali did, Frazier did, Joe Louis did, Liston did, Marciano did, Dempsey did, Jack Johnson did, guys like Charles, moore etc.. were blown up light heavies. So it seems pretty dumb that people now criticize the Klitschko's for fighting guys who once had to LOSE and CUT weight to make sub 200, but all of these "greats" willingly weighed in under 200 early in their careers.
So it seems silly to call Klitschko's opponents or future opponents "blown up cruisers" when guys like David Haye are naturally bigger than probably 90% of most "historians" top 10 heavies.
